What's new at Hope.
This Sunday the livestream will be our primary way to worship. This is part of Hope Chapel’s decision to shepherd our health by canceling gatherings at the church. Please feel free to share this link freely. To watch, click on the underlined link or the image below.
Each Christmas season a group of Hopites spends weeks (on Mondays, and Saturday mornings no less) rehearsing special music for the seasonal choir worship service. Director Jennifer Boltz and our four part harmony choir will bless us with what they’ve prepared and join in leading worship with the Debbie & Jack Dorman worship team.
Come rejoice and be blessed! And bring a friend or neighbor or co-worker to enjoy the Christmas choir.
Let’s Join in Celebration
Matthew Ryniker Ordination and Cake Reception on Sunday, April 28th, 10AM
Matt is changing positions at Hope Chapel and becomes our Associate Pastor this Sunday, April 28th in the 10AM serviceafter he’s ordained.
Though the youth will miss him in his role as youth pastor, he’ll pick up other responsibilities that bring his many skills and gifts to bear for the entire congregation; he’s already been doing that as Outreach pastor. Mandy Ryniker finishes her nursing training in the next week and graduates also. They are together ready to walk in this new role.
Our Hopekids’ classes begin at 10AM. They’ll come back in at the end of the service so they don’t miss Matt’s ordination. Older kids can either sit on the floor up front or go be seated with their parents.
Come celebrate the gift that Matt is to Hope! A cake reception follows.
Come as you are: dressed for photos in front of the tree or with the kids in pajamas. Begin a tradition with us Christmas Eve at 5:00 PM. Bring your family and friends to sing the carols and hear the story once again of when Hope came as a human and lived among us.
Then stand in the darkness as the first candle is lit and see it slowly spread across the room, candle to candle. Until at last, enveloped in the glow, we remember when The Light came into the world and pierced the darkness.
Christmas in July is a lighthearted romp in a situation in which anything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong. In the end… well.. nothing really “comes together”. But from the chaos, the message, meaning and purpose to it all becomes clear.
